A hollow circular post ABC (see figure) supports a load P1 5 16 kN actat the top. A second load P2 is uniformly distributed around the cap plate at B. The diameters and thicknesses of the upper and lower parts of the post are dAB 5 30 mm, tAB 5 12 mm, dBC 5 60 mm, and tBC 5 9 mm, respectively. The lower part of the post must have the same compressive stress as the upper part. The required magnitude of the load P2 is approximately:


(A) 18 kN
(B) 22 kN
(C) 28 kN
(D) 46 kN
